Rumble strips coming to Route 2

RANDOLPH — Officials from the N.H. Department of Transportation last week listened to about 90 minutes of questions and comments about its plan to install rumble safety strips on all but about 6 miles of Route 2 in the state.

DOT Project Engineer Mike Dugus said that the rumble strips are a low-cost safety measure that notify drivers when they cross the center lane line or when they start to drive off the road. As the name indicates, the strips are grooves in the pavement that produce an audible “rumble” as well as a vibration when driven over.
